Rabiot extends Juventus contract to end Man United speculation

Rabiot was set to be a free agent at the end of this month with Manchester United very keen to offer the French midfielder a contract to bring him to Old Trafford.

The 29-year-old has, however, opted to stay with Juventus for another year, signing a one-year extension with the Bianconeri.

This is a repeat of last summer when the France international came close to a move to United but failed to agree personal terms with the club before going on to have an excellent season.

Rabiot joined Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 and was in his best form last season, making 32 Serie A appearances, scoring eight goals. 

United have also held talks with Moises Caicedo’s representatives over a potential move from Brighton and have had three bids for Mason Mount rejected by Chelsea as they look to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new season.
